Hey! My name is Lorenzo Purificacion, and here’s the rundown! I’m a Graduate & Teaching Assistant for Old Dominion University’s Strength & Conditioning, teaching undergraduates how to pick things up, put them back down, and develop leadership skills. While teaching, I’m also pursuing my Master’s Degree in Exercise Science. For the background of this blog, my multi-dabbling in various interests of combat sports and lifting (i.e., powerlifting, Olympic lifting, strongman, and CrossFit) influenced the creation of this blog; I love watching individual sports! When I’m not teaching for ODU or blogging, you can find me in the gym, proctoring/instructing for VB Rescue, or in an ambulance, saving lives in Virginia Beach, VA.
